SPECIFICI-LTION forming part of Letters Patent No. 670,845, dated March26, 1901.

Application filed November 24, 1899 Serial No. 738,165. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom it may concern,.-

Beit known that I, GEORGE C. CONKLIN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Roslyn, in the county of Nassau and State of New York, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Kitchen-Tables, of whichthe following is a specification.

This invention relates to the general class of tables, but moreparticularly to wall-tables; and the object thereof is to provide adevice of the character described adapted to be rigidly secured to theside wall or wainscoting of a room, whereby a minimum amount of spacewill be required.

Vith this object in View my invention consists in certain details ofconstruction and combinations of parts, which will be referred tohereinafter, definitely claimed, and illustrated in the drawings, inwhich- Figure l is a bottom perspective View of a wall-table constructedin accordance with my invention; and Fig. 2 is a bottom plan View of thesame, the parts being folded.

Referring now to the drawings by referencenumerals, 5 indicates a silllongitudinally arranged and connecting the inner legs 6 and 7, from thefront side of which project the cleats Sand 9. The tops of said cleatsare iiush with the top edge of the legs, so that they will abut againstthe under side of the inner top section l0. It will be noticed that thistop section l0 comprises a comparatively narrow strip of material, theedge 1l extending only slightly beyond the cleats. Hinged to the edge llis a leaf l2, provided with strengthening-battens 12BM and adapted to befolded or dropped down, as seen in Fig. 2, and supported as follows:

To the middle part of the sill 5 is hinged a supporting-arm 13 by ahinge 14, said hinge being connected to the arm at the side thereof, sothat the end of said arm will abut against the side of the sill when theparts are in their extended position, whereby said arm will be bracedagainst the sill. This arm projects a slight distance beyond thejuncture of the inner top section and its leaf, and at the free end ofsaid arm is a supplemental legcarrying arm l5, connected to the singleouter leg 16, adapted to occupy a central position beneath the outeredge of the leaf or a position between the inner legs. Attention isdirected to the fact that the hinge 17, which connects the two arms, isoppositely disposed with relation to the hinge 14, so that the two armscan be folded upon each other to be retracted and contained within thewidth of the inner top section 10 when the leaf is folded down.

In order that the structure thus formed may be rigidly secured to asuitable support, such as the wall or the like, I provide hooks 18 tothe side of each rear leg.

It will thus be seen that I have provided an exceedingly simple wall-table particularly adapted to kitchens or any small room where space isan important factor to the comfort of the occupants.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. A wall-table comprising a single sill, the inner legs connected bythe sill, a narrow inner top section supported on the sill and innerlegs, the outer top section or leaf, hinges located onthe under side ofthe top whereby the top sections are connected together, the innersupporting-arm hinged at its inner end to the sill so as to foldthereagainst, in one direction, the outer supporting-arm hinged to theouter end of the inner supporting-arm so as to fold against the latterin the opposite direction to the former, and a single centrallyarrangedouter leg secured directly to the outer end of the outer supporting-arm.

2. A wall-table comprising a single sill, the inner legs connected bythe sill, each having a hook whereby they can be fastened to suitableeyes on a wall, a narrow inner top section supported on the sill andinner legs, cleats whereby the inner top section is braced to the legs,the outer top section or leaf provided with strengthening-battens,hinges located on the under side of the top whereby the top sections areconnected together, the inner supporting-arm hinged at its inner end tothe sill so as to fold thereagainst in one direction, the outersupporting-arm hinged to the outer end of the inner supporting-arm so asto fold against the latter in the opposite direction to the former and asingle centrallyarranged outer leg secured directly to the outer end ofthe outer supporting-arm.

In testimony whereof I aiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

GEORGE C. CONKLIN.
